After placing the Life Fitness Stairclimber in position, check the unit for stability by attempting to rock the unit. Any slight
rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam
nut (B) with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (A) to lower it. Verify that the unit is stable,
and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut
against the stabilizer bar.

The Life Fitness Stairclimber is powered by a rechargeable 6V battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key or
by stepping on the pedals. If the battery is charged, the console lights up, making it possible to program a workout. See
Section 4,
The Workouts
, for detailed information on programming workouts. If the display console does not light up, the
unit must be re-charged. Contact Life Fitness Customer Services to order an optional plug-in charging unit. The charger
should be connected to the stairclimber for a minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. The unit may be used
while the battery is being charged.
Note:
The plug-in charger can remain permanently connected.
Life Fitness recommends charging the unit overnight at least once per week to ensure a long life for the battery under the
following conditions:
•
The stairclimber is operated consistently by users who weigh less than 120 pounds
•
Workout durations are consistently less than 20 minutes
•
Usage is less than two hours per day
To recharge the stairclimber battery on domestic models, first plug the charger's (A) AC power cord into an electrical out-
let. Then, plug the charging cable into the stairclimber jack, which is located at the front of the unit, near the floor.
The plug must be inserted into an electrical outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
